I think that SLS color may be alubeam or something beside designo magno, which I thought were matte finishes.

You stepped it up a bit on price as well so you should be happy all around. Way to kick it up to the next level.

The SLS roadster is a beauty, I drove one and it is gorgeous in person, plus you get to hear that motor very clearly. I am just not a convertible type of guy, otherwise I would be all over it, in fact I think the roadster SLS has a very sexy look to it.

I drove SLS in Mont Tremblant and it was a monster! 260 down the back straight was effortless

A true Supercar

I did 270 in the wet, you wimp!

GT2 C63 and yo sister

I was considering the BS it became an issue of I really dont want the panoramic sunroof and I wasn't willing to play games with dealers due to the limited availability, I figured for the same or less a 911 was faster but less of a collectible-but with the sunroof it was a flawed collectible, Im still thinking about the SLS- thats a car that will be cool forever

1st AMG you made an excellent choice. Let's just hope they give you a good SLS and not all those lemons ppl have been getting recently. Let us know when you pick it up, would like to hear your comments about it after owning it for a bit. Enjoy!

Wise decision my friend, although I have to say I was REALLY looking forward to your first hand track perspective of the Black Series. You are blessed to be in a position to make such a choice and I am sure that you will enjoy the SLS! That is too big a leap for me personally but I am interested to see what the development of the "baby" SLS (SLC) brings to the table.
